Patrick Simon to leave UMBC on August 15th
It is with mixed emotions I am writing to announce that Patrick Simon, Business Analyst/Developer in DoIT’s Business Systems Group, will be leaving UMBC to become a consultant with Accenture. His last day on campus will be Thursday, August 15th.
Patrick has been with UMBC since 1998,
starting as a student employee and then hired full-time as a programmer to assist with the Student Information Legacy system and Y2k efforts. In 2003 Patrick joined the BSG technical
team supporting the PeopleSoft Finance system. After a very successful three-year
tour he took his new skills and moved over to the technical team focused on the
implementation for the PeopleSoft Student Administration system.
Patrick has been instrumental in the success of many projects at UMBC. Some recent projects include an automated process for Admissions Posting Decision, which he co-presented at the most recent Regional PeopleSoft Users Group in June 2013, Online Transcript Request system from AVOW, and web-based front-end solutions for UMBC’s Request Tracker (RT) system.
Patrick is another DoIT staff member with a UMBC success story. While working full-time he completed his Bachelors in Information Systems, got married and now has four beautiful daughters, and somehow managed to achieve an MBA from University of Maryland University College in 2011.
I have truly enjoyed watching him grow into the professional he has become. Please join me in congratulating Patrick on his past and future successes.
Sincerely,
Joe Kirby
Asst. VP, Business Systems Group
Division of Information Technology
